So this Halloween, I made a custom witch skirt for a friend and thought she needed a necklace to go with it. That inspired me to make these black lace chokers for the shop. This black lace rose choker is soft and has rough edges -- kind of like me! It looks delicate...
Friends, it's October! That means Halloween -- costumes and decorating and trying to keep out of the candy stash. Where I live, that also means dodging a hurricane and undoing all those decorations outdoors. Sigh. For October style, though, that means a nod to cooler...
Friends, apparently the bag to have right now is a tiny triangle bag. Actor Maisie Williams created a sensation when she carried an inexpensive triangle wristlet to recent awards shows. The bags sold out immediately. But don't worry, because I have some now in the...
